Maybe your friends are talking about a blanket that "wicks", that will
allow the moisture to move away from the horse? I think the polar fleece serves
this purpose, as does wool. I just bought a few yards the fleece on sale for $5
per yard to make a cooler and rump rug for my dauter's horse, total cost of $15
+ my time.
Vashka and I are experiencing our first real winter (we just moved
from Miami and are in Oregon.)
I believe horses are left as mother
nature intended them.However when I get back from a hard ride and it is 30
degrees and Vashka can't dry naturally, and he's shaking from the cold (he
still managed to grow quite a coat!), I feel like he needs a
blanket.
Ideally, I would like a blanket that helps him dry off so I can
take it off and he can keep warm naturally. (So far I've been out in the
garage with a blow dryer for an hour and a half to help him get dry.
:( :) !!! )
One or two of my new horse friends has recommended that
I get a blanket with "a quick." I guses that is something that dries the
horse and then there is the blanket on top? That would be great --- like I
said, I really don't want to have to keep the blanket on any longer than
necessary.
Do you guys have any blankets you can suggest? I don't mind if
it's a little pricey, though cheap is nice. I just want something that is
going to last so I don't have to keep replacing it!
